Recover My iPOD works on all iPOD models and can recover a range of files, particularly after the notorious Reset or Restore buttons have been activated at the wrong time.
“While the iPOD’s popularity has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon, it’s apparently simple usage has caused frustration and headaches for millions – mostly from failing to carefully read the original instructions,” explained GetData director Graham Henley at the company’s Sydney headquarters today.
“Now, iPOD owners, who’ve seen hundreds of dollars worth of music or video files apparently evaporate into thin air, can link their iPOD to a PC or laptop, and recover all of those files. In almost every case ‘deleted’ files are actually still on the iPOD drive. But users can download and try before they buy at no cost.”
With Recover My iPod software you can:
• Recover music, video and photos: .m4a, .mp3, .mov, quicktime and jpeg file types from your iPod.
• Supports all iPods including: iPod, Shuffle, iPod Mini, Nano and other iPod devices.
• Recovers data after an iPod Reset or Restore.
• Recover from iPod "Drive Not Formatted" message or when your iPod is not recognized by your computer.
• Recover My iPod is risk free and will NOT change the contents of the iPod drive being searched.
Recover My iPOD retails as a fully downloadable version from www.recovermyipod.com for US$39.95 or five (5) copies for US$19.95 each as a bundled deal off the website.
Graham Henley said the website also contained some very important advice and explanations that might prevent iPOD owners from accidentally losing a lot of music in the first place.
“iPOD owners should at least read the information about secure and safe use of their iPOD on our website. It could save a lot of pain and heartache. And it would probably be a wise thing to download Recover My iPOD and have it available before what might be a fairly minor hitch becomes a costly disaster,” he added.
System Requirements for Recover My iPOD:
• Operating System: Windows 9X/ME/200X/XP/2003
• RAM: 64 MB recommended
• Hard Disk: At least 6 MB of free disk space
Common scenarios in which files can be lost or deleted:
• “I plugged my iPod into a computer, iTunes started and I watched all the music and files on my iPod suddenly disappear?”
• “I reinstalled Windows, plugged my iPod into a computer, iTunes started and now my songs are all missing?”
• “I connected my iPod to a friends computer, lost my music and now I have my friends music on my iPod.”
The most common cause of these problems is the iTunes Auto Sync option.
How the iPod Auto Sync works
The iPOD Auto Sync is an option within iTunes software.
The concept is that when the Auto Sync option is enabled, as soon as you plug your iPod into the computer it automatically updates the files on your iPod with whatever is in the iTunes library of the computer to which you are connected.
It is a common mistake to think that all the music and files on your iPod get copied onto the computer.
They will not. And that is because your iPod is READ ONLY. It will only RECEIVE FILES from iTunes.
